Doyleanthus is a
monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Myristicaceae. The only species is Doyleanthus arillata.[1]
Its native range is Madagascar.[1]
Description
Similar in form to androecium (multiple stamens) with 3–4 strictly sessile anthers. It has a fully developed, deeply laciniate aril (seed coating), a condition otherwise found only in Madagascar in Mauloutchia heckelii, from which Doyleanthus may easily be distinguished by its unclustered, pedicellate flowers as well as its androecium characters.[2]
